Neither of them is a good reason to avoid the term, though. I don't think
confusion is likely because "intention event" is a unique phrase which can
have a defined meaning in the context of specifications. The description
also seems apt: what these events capture is the user's intention or purpose
in performing the action that causes the events to be dispatched.

Any proposed terminology will have its detractors. It is important to define
it clearly and use it consistently.
